Photoshoot images



Photoshoot images: Sophie (BMA awards model) These images will be for the magazine front cover although I can only chose one, I will be weighing out the positives and negatives of all five images. The background will be replaced with a movie star premiere background with the use of photoshop.


+ve:
- It's a good quality medium close up of sophie so we can see her facial features plus the make up we have put on her to make her a movie star.
- The pose is simple and nothing to dramatic.
- We can see the diamond feature on the dress which makes the picture classy and sophisticated.


-ve :
- Can't see the full dress which is one of the main features of a movie premiere the idea of to 'dress to impress'.
-The pose may be too simple? therefore maybe a pose with a bit more confidence.






+ve :
-we can see the full outfit, this is good because we can see the effort the model has made to look the part but also we can now see the full features of the dress such as the diamond and extra fabric to make it different in style
- Thanks to the light, we can see a lovely glamourous shine to the dress which adds to the glitzy theme, and could look like the paparazzi using flash on their cameras to get a nice clearer look.
-The pose I also think is brilliant as Sophie looks confident like a movie star should be. But also the angle is on a slight tilt which makes Sophie look more dominant and gives her more height. However it lets the audience see her whole body aswell including the silver shoes to compliment the outfit.


-ve :
- The only negative I would say about this image is that Sophie is looking away from the camera, which could well be a part of the pose but the image would be stronger if she smiled with her eyes at the camera to give her a sweet, glam look.



+ve :
- Another favourite image of mine, I like this one because the pose gives some innoncence to the model.
- The shine on the dress yet again gives her a glam look, but on the other hand her whole body is in the shot (longshot) which display the whole transformation she has taken to become a movie star. Also it displays the features on the dress such as the diamonds.
- Sophie is looking straight at the camera with her eyes which displays theres contact, her eyes being in the top third which makes her more dominant to the paparazzi.


-ve :
-Yet again only one negative is that her foot has been cut out of the picture, but however I'm sure people reading the magazine would prefer to see her face and dress.






+ve :
-A positive about this image is the audience can see the back feature of the dress which is quite unique in its style.
-The pose is a typical pose used by a lot of movie stars looking back at the audience and paparazzi and smiling which suggests they want to display there dresses but show they are comfortable with what they are wearing.


-ve:
- However I wouldn't say this is the best image because by sophies facial expressions she doesnt seem very comfortable with the pose because she isn't normally a photo pose type of person.
-There is also a bit of a blur which damages the quality of the image.




+ve :
-The photo displays the whole outfit very well as it doesnt cut off the shoes, and display the glitzy glam look very well.
-There is a shine on the dress which brings out the dress to the foreground and makes it noticable to the audience.
-Sophie is using her eyes to smile aswell as her mouth to create a sweet look, but also shows she isn't afraid of getting her photo taken and is photogenic.

-ve :
-If Sophie posed for the picture with her arms this image would be excellent as it would display confidence and make the image more professional.



To decide which image would be the best for the magazine I uploaded an image of the top 4 onto my facebook group. I then asked the members of my focus group to choose which one would be the image to feature in the magazine.


The results was as follows...




3 people took part in the mini survey and they all voted number 2 as they felt it looked 'more like a red carpet pose' I think this is true as sophie looks confident and stylish in the image.
